Third Party Administrators (TPAs)

Definition

Generally, an "administrator" is a person who, in connection with annuities or life benefits, health benefits, accident benefits, pharmacy benefits, or workers' compensation benefits, collects premiums or contributions from or adjusts or settles claims for residents of this state.

These rules establish the licensing, contracting, auditing, reporting, and other requirements for all administrators, including administrators with delegated duties in the workers' compensation system.

Although we make every attempt to ensure the currency of the code references on this page, they should be used only as guides. The TIC reflects changes a few months after a legislative session and the TAC is subject to change as needed.

Annual Reporting

March 1

Due date for the Texas Annual Insurance Maintenance, Assessment and Retaliatory Report (Maintenance Tax Form) filed with the Texas Comptroller's Office. Webfile or electronic filing is available on the Texas Comptroller's website. Late filings incur penalties and interest.

Maintenance tax fees and reporting should include all workers' compensation fees. Hyperlinks to the instructions and tax rates are on the form. Line 12 is the only line applicable to TPAs. NOTE: There is no annual statement fee for TPAs (Line Item 23). The fee referred to in the instructions of the tax form is the $200.00 annual report filing fee that is sent to TDI.
